NEW: Another 20 Tory members are facing suspension after posting anti-Muslim comments on Facebook

Members vowed to use their votes at a leadership contest to stop Sajid Javid becoming PM

More than 50 Tory members have now been suspended for Islamophobia

buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
One Tory member called Muslims “muzz rats”, “sub human scum” and asked: “why have we got them in our country?”. He also wrote: “This lot should be rounded up and put on a boat home. They don't like our flag - but they love our welfare payments.” buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
A man who who wrote last week that he had joined the Tories to get a Brexiteer elected as PM said of Sajid Javid: “Britain is not ready for a Muslim PM, that would be taking the absolute piss out of the country” buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
One woman who wrote two days ago that she is staying as a Tory member “so that we can elect the right leader” wrote that Sajid Javid “will protect his own. He was sworn in on the Koran” buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
Here are the shocking new cases of Tory racism that have led the party to make new suspensions today, found by @MatesJacob buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…

My latest in the @guardian on the Conservatives turning a blind eye to Islamophobia in their Party despite the scale of the issue.

This thread will highlight some of the "monumental weight of evidence" of the problem.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The campaign for Mayor of London was called "dog whistle racism" by senior Conservatives such as Andrew Boff, who said the idea of painting Khan as an extremist was "outrageous".
theguardian.com/politics/2016/…

Ken Clarke said it was "ludicrous"
huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zac-gold…
But it's not just Zac Goldsmith who should be held responsible, although his comments were particularly awful. The entire party machinery supported him.

Cameron (PM at the time) even libelled an Imam as he tried to slur Sadiq Khan

Incoming: Friday afternoon #Facebook / #GDPR tweetstorm, because this week has been pretty deflating for us #privacy wonks.

If you're European, you probably got an email from FB this week, with this subject line:

/1
"X, please accept our updated Terms by May 25 to continue using Facebook."

Now, let's talk about how non-compliant that subject line is. It suggest that failing to accept the new terms will result in account suspension. That's a problem.
#GDPR requires consent to be "freely given" and says that services can't be withheld just because the consumer doesn't consent to ALL THE TRACKING.

The last line of the email is "Please go to Facebook to review and accept the Terms" which reinforces the subject line threat.
